The blood of bulls and goats etc did the job, but Christ's blood works even better. (Not sure in what sense it works better, but I suppose we could read between the lines and consider that it was a one-time sacrifice, vs repeated sacrifices. That's better, for sure!) And still, Lev says what it says. Don't tell me I've found a contradiction!  |
If you really want a contradiction, God will let you assume one. lol
Hebrews 10:1-3 KJV For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (2) For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. (3) But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:14 KJV For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Must read the entire treatise. Our very consciences are purged by the blood of Jesus, thus making us complete. The animal sacrifices could not perfect/complete the offerer. So, Christ's sacrifice covered the transgressions that were committed under the old covenant which animal sacrifices could not completely deal with. Therefore, no one was truly forgiven until Christ made atonement.
